Default COM directory
Locked
 
|
Hello,
"Com- Ole" defines a global DefaultCOMDirectory, which is constantly checked - when opening a development image, Com-Ole pops up a warning dialog if the directory does not exist - when deploying, Com-Ole nags if the directory is not absolute Surprisingly, this directory is only used by some examples, not by the Com core. Also, it's pretty pointless to configure an absolute directory path for a deployment image. IMHO the Com parcels should not care about the DefaultCOMDirectory at all. #checkDefaultCOMDirectory should be eliminiated and #installRuntime adapted. |

I, list,
I never investigated the meaning of that need (time is not exactly something I have in abundance...), but allways I hated the need to have that directory. Just to shut up the image, I created it all times... If it's not necessary, throwing away would be really nice.... So, this is just to supporting the suggestion, in the case.. Ciao Giorgio On 10/23/07,

You could also set it to '.' as there's no need to actually create one.

I never had to call that and it sure looks like it isn't of much use.
